So real like the God of Herbert Mullin's who obeyed his very real God to kill 13 people?Age wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 5:28 amCould God exist as NOT real?Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 5:24 amSo do you still believe God exists as real?BardoXV wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 6:43 pm More specifically a Lutheran but I listen to a lot of Atheist programs and call-in shows.

Either answer the actual question asked, or do not. Deflecting does nothing for me.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 6:00 amSo real like the God of Herbert Mullin's who obeyed his very real God to kill 13 people?

But proving God exists is FAR easier and far simpler than proving God does not exist.BardoXV wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 6:43 pm More specifically a Lutheran but I listen to a lot of Atheist programs and call-in shows.

The I cannot be a Theist. The I can only know 'theist' as a concept OF I - but not be I - as I cannot be the concept I know.
I believe that God exists, beyond that there is very little that I can say for sure.

No ''theist'' has ever been seen, only KNOWN.
The seer of the known is I and I cannot be the known for the known know and see no thing but I

Most Theists fail at trying to prove God's existence, How could an Atheist have a concept of God if they don't believe in Gods existence?Age wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 8:08 amBut proving God exists is FAR easier and far simpler than proving God does not exist.BardoXV wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 6:43 pm More specifically a Lutheran but I listen to a lot of Atheist programs and call-in shows.

The reason WHY the so called "atheist" demolish the so called "theist", who 'tries to' prove the existence of God, is because the perspective from the so called "atheist" they have NO real concept of what God actually IS yet.
